Never mind "price" competitive, I remain unconvinced that they create enough usable energy over their lifetime to cover their construction and maintenance, including the energy requirements of the ugly bags of mostly water involved in the process.
Note for the hard of understanding: there's a big difference between theoretical generation, and practical generation. And there's an even bigger difference between practical generation, and whether that power is reliable enough to let you cool down the nuclear and fossil plants. If fossil use doesn't drop when you install "renewables" - and I've yet to see one shred of evidence that it does - then you're just pissing energy away on these greenwashed follies.
You learn very quickly how not to develop software: deluded, unrealistic, underfunded expectations from the get-go; lies, concealment, finger pointing and circling the wagons in every tiny fiefdom; turds eternally rolling downhill; perpetually moving goalposts; two-jobs-for-the-salary-of-one; demanding that each fresh noob immediately picks the job of the burned out vet that they're replacing; and beatings that will continue until morale improves.
But hey, that one Saturday back in 2007, when we only worked 10 hours and then had pizza? Dude, that was awesome.
Where else you think you get you fix? Why you gots to run you mouths off? Don't you know what happen to a ho who get uppity?
Y'all remember Busta McCrabbe, and how he got they fancy airs and graces cause he be a "Admiral"? He only be a Admiral cause I say he a Admiral! You know what bein' an Admiral mean? It mean he slap the rest of you bitches around so I don't have to get off this fine mink covered recliner and do it my own self.
Where he now? Where he at, after he say he want "more respect"? He an ensign now, giving the Vulcan Sex Grip to bumpy-heads over in the Ballsack Nebula.
You hos want that? You want I cut you off? You think you got a fleet at you back, you think you got friends? I own that fleet! I own those friends! You think you can get by on Gratuitous Space Battles by your own self? You think that keep the shakes away? They ain't even got no backstory!
Now, why you want to get me riled up like this? Why you have to get me so angry? You know I just wants to takes care of you. You know I loves all my stable, you know I good to you. Just you settle down, pay me what's mine, and I gets you a fine new blouse, purple rayon, nothing but the best for my hos. But you gots to earn it. You gots to earn it.
When Jobs finally transfers His Eternal Spirit to a glossy obsidian iThrone deep in the heart of towering Mount Sosumi, built entirely from smashed Windows and Android devices, it's going to make the 10,000 year clock look like a bit of a silly ephemeral trinket.
Didn't we just have one our patented (pun indented) nerd frenzies over a chap settling a copyright lawsuit even though he (says) he would have won in court? Maybe you should have commented there.
Sure, we'll buy your security solution. We'll just need a contract, an SLA, and your first born son and heir. No, you can't have mine - he's currently living with our biggest customer.
I think we'd see a bit more spending on the quality assurance department then, don't you?
The result for the mosquitoes is the same either way. Actually, the retail torture kills fewer of them. You're criminalising behaviour because it makes you feel icky. Brainstem logic.
they're departing from the ideals of Linux and unix in general.
What, to be a tiny insignificant niche system where if you don't know already how to use it, you're not allowed to ask?
Ubuntu is still a tiny insignificant niche system, but it's the best of a bad bunch. I develop for Solaris, WIndows/SUA, Red Hat and SuSE servers, but the native desktop platform that I choose to use is Ubuntu, for the simple reason that it just lets me get on with doing what I need to do. If you're using anything else on the desktop, it's most likely because the cognitive dissonance has kicked in, and you're over-valuing ancient knowledge simply because it was painful to learn.
My lawyers and I firmly believe that the pixel art is "fair use" and Maisel and his counsel firmly disagree. I settled for one reason: this was the least expensive option available.
No. The least expensive option is to not pay money to a lawyer in order to hear that you should pay more money to more lawyers.
If you think you're right, represent yourself, explain that you can't afford council, and the court will bend over backwards to help you with the procedurals.
Or - here's a thought - just ignore the case. Get on with your life. Eventually, a warranted bailiff may - may - turn up at your door. At that point, if you've got less than $32K-and-change in seizable assets on hand, well, it still works out cheaper than paying a lawyer to hand over that amount of cash up front.
Not necessarily. Johnny could be a diamond in the rough, but thinks that programming is hard and pointless. By giving him a rewarding goal that shows results quickly, he might discover that he actually has a talent and a passion. It worked for me - I only learned to program so that I could hack Netrek, and now I do some fairly deep fu.
Remember, we're competing for Johnny's heart and mind. Would we rather that he became a lawyer, or an accountant?
Why not? In many countries, Washington Accord qualified engineers are held personally liable for their mistakes, just like doctors (and therefore carry liability insurance).
If patents are so gosh-darn important, I don't see why we employ "mid-level technicians" to review them.
Every packet has bits of both the preceeding and following packets so that if a packet gets dropped or delayed or whatever, there is still enough information to not miss the "missing" information.
Um, if you say so. There's nothing in UDP that does that, and unconditionally tripling the payload seems like a pretty brutal kludge. I'm not saying that typical video streaming doesn't work that way, just that I'd be surprised if that's that awful.
If it does work that way then, urgh, I completely agree that TCP is the way to go. Never mind trying to stream in realtime (that's for interactive video and voice), using TCP and simply buffering a few seconds ahead of the playback would help everyone, including yourself.
Oh, for mod points. The only way this would make sense for them is if they applied some truly obscene markup to the same hardware from Whang Dong Audio Visual and Fish Gutting Concern that everybody else ships. And made it white. The the remote only had one button.

Novel? I thought it was a screenplay. Did your edition have the appendix with his suggestions for casting it?
That's deep man. Deep.
I take it that your personal details weren't on any of the customer lists that LulzSec released. Last I checked, Sony isn't a government (yet).
This must be some new variant which only strikes when the Lulz stops and you're sniffing and blubbering in the cells.

Q: Will wikipedia become a supercomputer?
A: It turns out that there are stupid questions.

Itch scratched, get on with your life, where experience and contact make paper qualifications into worthless trinkets. Job done.
And "he was working" on means "he hired a guy to do it, but didn't pay him". Allegedly. The guy is the ultimate... executive.

as if dozens of voices suddenly wheezed out in mild discinclination and were eventually silenced. I fear something vaguely ambiguous has happened.

Wait, what, "contaminate"? You're anti-life?
Literally worse than Hitler. In the literal sense of literally.

Better, if you can apt-get synaptic, then you don't need synaptic.

Sarcasm fail. Personal liability would indeed go a long way towards fixing the process.
Do doctors cease to practice because they are liable for their mistakes?
They do not. They take out insurance, and they do a better job.
